TN ALL CAIRNESS
1 * * By i W. J. MACBETH
IT lies within the opportunities of the powers of organized baseball to
make the current week one of the most memorable in thc- history of thc
game. Certainly the most important conference of modern times is
staged for this city about mid-week, and if the magnates are as wise and
judicicius as the case warrants a lasting good is niound to result.
Most important of u long list of meetings to be held here is the
prospective joint conference of the National and American Leagues, to be
held at the Biltmore Hotel Thursday next. It is more necessary than ever
before, in the present ear cf reconstruction, to have the major operators
work in close harmony. Each of the two major leagues, prior to lhe joint
session, will hold meetings of their own to complete certain routine and
dot_.il left over from the annual meetings and to shape programmes for
presentation to the joint conference. These league metings will be held
on Wednesday, the National League at the Waldorf and the American
League at the Biltmore.
The New International League will also hold a meeting here at the
Hotel Imperial. The big minor circuit make up is somewhat problematic
at the moment of writing and it is necessary to make certain seleceitons
among various candidates for the two or three open berths in the eight-club
association.
Out in Chicago, on Tuesday, will be held a special meeting of the
delegates to the National Association, or in other words, the most powerful
representatives of the minor leagues. At this meeting a platform will be
adopted by the little fellows, who will send representatives to the joint
meeting of the major leagues to petition certain reforms.
Of late, both the major and minor league powers have shown a greater
disposition toward harmony than ever before, as each needs the other to
contribute to its greatest success. The majors are a source of revenue to
the minors?the minors a gigantic school for the advancement am! de?
velopment of major talent.
Present No Time for Squabhling
JV/TINOR league baseball was hit by the recent world war very much
iVJL harder than was the major brand. For that very reason it will take
careful nursing to rebuild the great family of.mino. leagues, all of which
were forced to suspend last season, with the exception of tlie New Inter?
national. In the opinion of the. smartest baseball men, minor league
baseball is sadly in need of a redistribution of territory. Many of the
leagues as constituted formerly were most unwieldly in tlie matter nf
circuit mileage, which, at existing transportation prices, meant a non
rensical maximum of overhead expense. Through sensible redistribution
of territory it would be possible to effect a mir. or of high class. compact
tircuits for minor purposes that could easily prosper in view of contcm
liated salary rcadjustments.
The minor leagues feel, too, that the. existing draft privilege of the
majors is somewhat of a drawback, and will ask the curtailment of this
boon. Heretofore, the majors have grabbed promiscuously of the material
of even the most obscure minor leagues. taking the pick before the more
prominent minor classes had an opportunity to make selections.
The chief evil resulting from this power, which was bften abused,
developed from the practice of wholesale "farming" on the part nf major
league clubs. Players not ready for fast company were tltrned back for
seasoning with string attachments for optional recall; the clubs from which
playes were drafted lost thc serviees of these men, often badly needed,
while the athletes themselves quite as often were not afforded opportunity
for rapid advancement. The minor leagues. it is understood, will hold out
firmly against the "optional recall" practices of the majors.
If the major leagues should decide upon a very small roster limit -say
eighteen or twenty men?as has been advocated, there would no longer be
the same incentive for promiscuous drafting, provided the minor leagues
instituted a blockade against the optional recall. This is the big point ul
issue between major and minor baseball. To the minors, indeed, if seems a
point of vitality. And still it is not worth fighting about. No doubt thc
majors will be sensible enough to be- reasonable, if nol stroked 'he wrong
was of the fur.
National Commission Issue Clouded
T17"HILE the majority of club owners of both the National nnd American
* ? Leagues are. anxious to avoid friction of any nature, the National
Commission issue remains clouded as ever.
Many were of the opinion thnt August Herrmann would resign the
chairmanship at the annual meeting of ihe triumvirate because of the
antagonism of his own National League colleagues toward his holding thc
position. Had he retired gracefully it might, have saved the face of baseball,
for which he professes such tender feelings.
It is well known that the National League is pledged against the
retention of Herrmann in the chairmanship. His holding r>n in the face of
1he opposition of his colleagues has not enhanced his cause in American
League sentiment. Ban Johnson continues to proclaim aloud that he must
have Herrmann; that he needs him more to-day and to-morrow than he
needed him yesterday. But Mr. Johnson is likely to strike a Tartar in
certain of his own club owners who supported him at the annual meeting
in Chicago. It is a fact-that the American League majority will nol pcrmit
the somewhat unimportant oilice of the National Commission chairmanship
tc stand in the way of major league peace and harmony.
The National League, indeed, favors a one-man commission, such as
Messrs. Hampstead and Frazee proposed to W. II. Taft, But ii is not
bigoted on the subject. It stands ready to embrace any reasonable compro
mise. The minor leagues, whose consent is necessary tn amend the peace
agreement, are hopeful of a reorganization of the National Commission
which would give minor lcagne representation, eliminate the present gov
erning body of the minors, and put all baseball under one administration.
Baseball Needs Old-F ashioned Bally-Hoo
"VITTIAT baseball most needs at lhe present time is a rousing bally-hoo.
'* The writer is of the opinion that a grave error was made in chopning
the 1919 schedule to 140 games. It implicates distrust in the game's future
:n the minds of the owners. If promoters weaken, how can the puhlic bc
expected to stand firm?
But even more discouraging than the curtailment of schedule is the
apparent determination of some clubs to train at home because of the later
rpening. This cannot but prove a boomerang against such a measure of
economy. All the local color will be destroyed where the fans can go daily
to the bail parks to see their heroes in the motiotonous stunts of training.
Home openings are likely to prove a great jest and possibilities of good
early business, iTespective of team strength, destroyed.
Within the past ten years the oldtime fervor of spring openings has
been destroyed. Major league cities have been "baseballed" to death before
the regular season opened.
It would be a grand idea if the present day promoters would regard
the spring training trip as an advertising bally-hoo, as was lhe case in the
old days, and keep tbe clubs awny from home until the opening of the
championship season. Training at home cannot fail lo prove even more
disastrous thun playing spring cxhibitions at home. Cheap metl ods cannot
but refiect cheapness in production. Steps should be taken to guard againsl
the experiment.
Great Opportunities for Trades
UITE as important as th spring training bally-h'oo is ll^e possibilityl
for general revival of interest through wholesale transfer of players.
The recent deal between the Ynnkees and Red Sox has local fandom genu
inely enthused over Miller Iluggins's prospects for lhe coming year.
Most all the major league clubs are loaded up with surplus talent, and
it would not be surpising if some remarkable swapping resulted before1
the week-end. Huggins, who has a world of promising yoiing pivchingt
taloilt te part with, is hopeful of aecuring two high class veletan out-1
fielders from teams that need pitchers, lle is but, one of the many mana-;
gen* who intend to explore thc market at this week's meeting.
Phillies' Loss Proves Giants' Gain
OHN J. McGRAW made a ten eftrike by securing Pat Moran ns battery
coach and ftdviier, Pat is of a tempcrnrncnt akin to that of Wilbertj
KobiiiBon, whose xcnial diftpoaition helped tbe old Giants to success in tbe j
championship ?truggle? of 1911- l'_-l.'{. Moran is not only an oxcellent
coach, but one of thc very best managers of thc* game as wci!? as allesfed
by hi? wonderful bucccsm with ihe I'billieH. He is not likely to remain
long in a secondary po?ition unlcus all thc managftra who were on probation
lu?t year ?how decided improvement in leaderihip the coming ueason.

New Gov,
Boxing May Be Revived in
New York State; Return?
ing Soldiers Favor Change
By Denis T. Lynch
ALBANY, .Jan. 12.?A home run for
the Sunday baseball bill and a decision
for thc boxing rcstoration measure are
j predictcd by lovcrs of these two sports
, who have been sounding the sentiment
i of upstate legislators here during the
1 past ten days.
The law permitting boxing was
repealed during thc first part of
Governor Whitman's regime, following
tho disclosure of ecandals in the State
Boxing Ccmnn'ssion. Strenuous efforts
were made to liave the luw restored at
thc last session of the Legislature, but
becai
:e oi the strong opposition from
thc clergy and church workers gen?
erally the legislators north of The
, Bronx killed the legislation.
War Changes Sentiment
Similar opposition caused the death
oi" the .Sunday baseball bill.
Baseball l'ans and iioving enthusiasts
| claim that the war has changed the
i upstate sentiment toward these two
I meai uros, which will be introduced
some time this month in both houseo
of the Legirwature.
"Many" McCue, who before going to
Albany to represent an East Side As?
sembiy district achieved no small hon
ora in th? squared ring, said that he
has found that some of his associates
in tho Legislature who were bitterly
opposed to boxing have been won over
to it by thc tales their sons and rel
atives who enlisted to light tlie Hun
have brought home.
"One of these boys," said Assembly
>':;l" McCue, "who come from a little
farming community and whose unclo is
one of the powers in the Assembiy, got
Ilii lirst tasfc of the gloves at Camp
Upton, and as a result he is a fighting
'?'ii for the rcst of his life. Thia
youngster had, like all his neighbors,
opposed to boxing as an exhibi?
tion sport. but the camp and trench
1 '?' taught him differently, and his
unclc has also become a light fan."
Welfare Workers May Help
? friends of boxing look to support
from church workers who have gone
w< Ifare work among the soldiers.
They argue that these men could not
have heiped but become converts after
scoing and helping to make matches
boxing contests among thc soldiers.
Little support of any sort is expected
from cluirchnicn on the side of Sunday
baseball, because of their inherent op
I"-'. ;":ii to all diversions on the Sab
bath, bui Sunday baseball advocates
arc pinning their faith on the returned
upstate soldier who while in serviee
played many a game of baseball on the
lirsl day of the week to keep him in
trim for the moment, hc went over the
top.
The fight and Sunday baseball fans
are not worying about the seifiment
in thc Executive1 Chamber, for Gov?
ernor Smith 'during his twelve years'
serviee in the Legislature established
bimselJ in the hearts of the lovers of
sports.
'se Vic
ver Federal
n Big Game
By C. A. Lovett
Four hours of football were required
to decide the question of supremecy
between Morse Dry Dock F. C. of
Brooklyn and Federal Ship A. A. S. C.
of Kearney, N. J., in the third round
at tho national championships, but vic?
tory went the way of the Morse cleven
yesterday, at Lenox Oval, in a gri'at
rush. ln the first half of the extra
time necessary after the. two teams
had battled to a " -2 tie in the regula?
tion periods Morse forged far ahcAd.
The game was a rcplay of the score
Icss tie of a week before at East Njw
ark.
The final score yesterday was 5?2,
the Brooklyn club thus remaining one
of thc eight clubs of the country to
be drawn next week in the fourth
round of the competition from which
the survivors will go into the Eastern
and Western seini-tinals.
The Federal team put up a brilliant
exhibition of football in the lirst ninety
minutes, cxcallyig Morse in the first
? half, which ended in a '-i-l score favor
iu* the Jerseymen. They carried the
light to the Brooklyn club in much of
the second half, but a Morse goal
filtered through the defence and the
Fedcral attackers could not return their
team to thc lead.
John J. "Sinkey" Sullivan, a star
forward of the national champion Fall
River Rovers a year ago, who was in
large measure lesponsible for the
Morse victory, tallied first after twelve
minutes of play. lt was fifteen minutes
later that Fisher equallzed on a cross
by Edmonson. Shortly thereafter In
gram puts the Fods ahead with a shot
that glanced into tlie net off McCann,
the Morse left half.
O'Donnell Saves the Day
After the intcrval the Morse de
7 ndcrs tightoned and tbe forward line
seemed much strongor, It was not long
before O'Donnell evened matters from
a. criss cross, negotiated by McNaugh
ton and Sullivan. Both goals were
peppered freely during the remaining
moments of the regular times, but Sani
Bell. siibstituting m goal for Albion,
nnd Sinible thrilled the 3,000 assembled
fans with apectacular saves. Bell, in
particular, had a splendid day, and it is
doubtful if the former Fall River goalie
could have shown to better advantage
in the mouth of the net for Wilfrid
liollywood's aggregation of satellites.
The Fedefal nacks seemed unequal to
thc ta^k of playing the extra time.
Thoir defence crumbled fast,
O'Donnell scored again from a scrim
ii!iii;e. Cojgato cruBBcd to Sullivan for
Ihe fourth Morse goal and Sullivan,
nol long afterward, lifted McNuugh
Ioii'h pass past Snable for the final
marker. Ml this occurred in the first
fifteen minutes of extrn time, In the
second extra period the ball was much
in the centre of the Held or out of
bounds. Tbe Kearny shipbuildera did
not ghow much heart with t?he odds ho
hcavily against tnein, arid perhaps
.Min e wa! contenl with its great lond.
"Eagle Eyo" Crelghton handled thol
game in line style. Considering the
cruelly hard nnd corruRHted condition
of lh,' iu Id, it was an oxcellently eon
t, t, ,|. ln iii.'.ing scrap and little marred
by uniieceshiirily roujjh playing.

Jim Vaughn Leads Pitchers
In the National League
In arrarnging the National League pitchers in order of their effective
nees, it wos found expedient to divide the pitchers into three groups, same
as 1917. The first of these embraces all those who bore the brunt of the
campaign, and pitched at least ten complete games; the second, those who
participated in a minimum of ten games, regardless of the length of same;
and the third comprising all others who took part in a championship
contest.
The percentage of games won and lost is given, with notation of the
relative position of each pitcher, this special record being supplied in order
that comparison may be made with the official earned run rating.
Vaughn, Chicago, won title of leading pitcher, with an average of least
runs earned per rgarme of 1.74 also leads in number of games won, 22. The
best percentage of games won and lost was obtained by Hendrix, Chiago,
.741.
Grimes, Brooklyn, pitched in the greatest number of games, 40.
Vaughn and Tyler, both members of the champion team, Chicago, had
j eight shutouts each. Vaubn leads in number of trikeouts in a season, 148.
In consecutive victories, Grimes, Brooklyn, had a run of ten victories,
; July 18 to August 20.
Consecutive defeats, J. Oeschger, Philadelphia, 9, July 8 to August 17.
Pitching the most defeats, Marquard, Brooklyn, and Oeschger, Phila?
delphia, had eighteen each.
Cheney, Brooklyn, made five wild pitches in St. Louis-Brooklyn game,
July 9.
Most number of strikeouts in a single game, Vaughn, Chicago, 12,
Cincinnati-Chicago, May 30.
Most number of bases on balls in a game, 13, by pitcher Schneider,
Cincinnati-Philadelphia, July 6.

A close light developed for the team
honors, with the Clark House A. A.
athietes nosing out the Paulist repre?

ioxing iNews and Notes
-Bv FRED HAWTtiORNE_
"I have been watching the work of
your department closely for the last
six months, and it has indeed been
gratifying, Mr. Macbeth, to see the in
telligent manner in which you and your
very efficient staff have handled' the
news. This has been so consistently
so, and the department's work has been
so faithfully and cheeriully performed
under all conditions, that I have come
to feel that the sporting department. is
the mosi important in tnis great news?
paper. I might go further. 1 will say
that iVfiv it not for th*; work of you
men this paper would not be as great
as it is.
"Ii partial recognition of the truly
magr. icent and constructive journal
ism tK.it has been accomplished by this
department, it gives me great pleasure
to announce to you gentlemen that, be?
ginning next week, tne salaries of each
and ever., one of you wiil be raised 26
pcr cent.
"While this, of course, is not by any
means an adequate hor.oranum in re?
turn for the services you men have ren
dered, it will give you some slight com
prehension, perhaps, of the e-teem in
which you are held by myself and those
associated with me. In asking you
gentlemen to accept this increase, may
I not request that you regard, not the
intrinsic value of the gift, but rather
the spirit in which it is bestowed'.'
"Before I leave you I would like to
say n word or two to each man individ
ually. The 'personal' note on such au
spicious occasions always counts for
much."
By thc time the BIG BOSS had said
ali these things, Aunt Eleanor Ann, we
felt exactly the way Cncle Ted did, last
month, when the French general at St.
Xuzaire ordered him to step two paces
to the front and pinned the Croix de
Guerre on his heaving, bumping bosom
and then bussed him on both cheeks,
while the regiment stood at "salute!"
First wc stood up by our desk nnd
looked at thc ceiling, then we dusted
off our chair and sat down, then we
stood in the "position of the soldier."
then we thought a graceful "at ease"
would be better form, and in between
times we stood, lirst on one foot and
then on the other, like a stork in a liiy
pond. We trieel to keep our eyes
"front" while the BIG BOSS was ad
dressing the Sporting Editor and the
assistant S. E., but we could not heip
noticing that both those worthies were
doing everything that we were, and
then some.
"Bunk" was trying to twist a button
off his coat and the "Iron Dook" was
biting his pencil into kirtdling wood.
"Old Taylor" was teunng up all the
Sunday copy, and Antonio, thc cham?
pion spaghetti wrestlcr of the depart?
ment, who writes all the track athletic
news, basketball games, squaah, hund
hall, fencing and swimming, was kick
ing dents in our shins and his kneen
were knocUing together like a pan of
caataneta.
Thc BIG BOSS stood in front of
trembhng us. ?-i" is with a heart filled
to the brim with eraotion and with
thoughts that struggle in my heart for
nt expression that i stand before you,
young sir. ! am glad to ^e<- vour
bnght young ''are before me this even
mg". and ? _r you 'hat vour
unawerving devotion. vour extraordi?
nary ta enl i nd your truly brilllant
treatment of a most inti .-ct
have ra ed tl e greal boxing profession
to a higher plane than it haa ever oc
'.?upied before I cannot but feel
that the tributi 1 u? endeavor
ing to pay you is a pitifullv
poor return for all that you have
so nobly done . thful, uncom
plaining, sublime servant, m&ster of
your craft, I salute you. and assure
you that 1 am proud to think that such
intellects . -..! dwell among us
raortals, and that Buch heroic fitrures
as yours yet walk upon this green
earth. No, please. I beg of you. don't
even attempt to thank me. It is 1 who
should feel honored to stand in the
' presence of such a vast intellect. Young
s;r. you are an honor to the name of
Man.'
We heard the telephone ring at that
moment an.l reached out our hand to
Krasp the old "chattcrbox," and found
( urself on the floor of our very cold
hall bedroom, half way between the bed
and the receiver. It was 11 o'clock in
the morning, ind we were home. all
'alone. Lut the telephone WAS ritiRinK-,
and 80 w(. answered it.
"You sound as though you had just
tumbled out of thc hay. How d'ye g^t
that way? How about that story you
iwere going after this mom np? Where
do you think you are, in Philadelphia?
A truy (iu <i sleeping, once."
It was the Sport ing Editor cooing in
| our ear, anri we began to drift slowly
back to eai "Well, anyway, 'Dook.'
